... and so on
+FileHandle and other objects work as well.

Use of carpout() is not great for performance, so it is recommended
for debugging purposes or for moderate-use applications. A future
version of this module may delay redirecting STDERR until one of the
Nonfatal errors will still be directed to the log file only (unless redirected
with carpout).
+=head2 Changing the default message
+
+By default, the software error message is followed by a note to
+contact the Webmaster by e-mail with the time and date of the error.
+If this message is not to your liking, you can change it using the
+set_message() routine. This is not imported by default; you should
+import it on the use() line:
+
+ use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);
+ set_message("It's not a bug, it's a feature!");
+
+You may also pass in a code reference in order to create a custom
+error message. At run time, your code will be called with the text
+of the error message that caused the script to die. Example:
+
+ use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);
+ BEGIN {
+ sub handle_errors {
+ my $msg = shift;
+ print "<h1>Oh gosh</h1>";
+ print "Got an error: $msg";
+ }
+ set_message(\&handle_errors);
+ }
+
+In order to correctly intercept compile-time errors, you should call
+set_message() from within a BEGIN{} block.
+
=head1 CHANGE LOG
1.05 carpout() added and minor corrections by Marc Hedlund
1.06 fatalsToBrowser() no longer aborts for fatal errors within
eval() statements.
+1.08 set_message() added and carpout() expanded to allow for FileHandle
+ objects.
+
+1.09 set_message() now allows users to pass a code REFERENCE for
+ really custom error messages. croak and carp are now
+ exported by default. Thanks to Gunther Birznieks for the
+ patches.
+
+1.10 Patch from Chris Dean (ctdean@cogit.com) to allow
+ module to run correctly under mod_perl.
